Redskins still awaiting promised change as losing becomes status quo

Bruce Allen gripped both sides of a black-topped lectern at the front of the Washington Redskins’ team meeting room in early 2010, hours after the organization announced it had fired coach Jim Zorn.

Allen, hired three weeks earlier as the team’s general manager, espoused platitudes about leadership and passion and success. He championed a commitment to winning, noting that consecutive fourth-place finishes in the four-team NFC East was unacceptable for a team with the proud tradition of the Redskins.

“We’re going to make sure that status quo is gone,” Allen said at the time. “We’re going to change the way that we’ve done business.”
